Reality, the headquarters of the Phantom Company.

Thousands of virtual screens floated in the huge, empty room, and the number of projections was constantly flowing at a dizzying speed, and it was hard to imagine what was going on. And the source of all the jù streams is a ball of light in the center of the room that glows milky white.

Standing in the middle of all the virtual screens was a woman with blonde hair and a shawl, her pale orange eyes flashing from time to time, her hands constantly tapping on the screen that was turning back and forth, manipulating all the numbers in the entire empty room.

If anyone who follows the game is here, it is not difficult to recognize this woman as Qi Lan, the developer of Fantasy Sky Wars - the only spokesperson of Fantasy Company.

A deep black crack suddenly opened in the space directly above the woman.

"Your Excellency." The woman stopped and bowed slightly.

"How's it going to be here these days?" An extremely lazy and charming female voice.

Qi Lan said confidently: "Although [Bai] is operating at full strength for the first time, it is only a fraction different from the previous calculations of his subordinates, and it is completely within the range that can be controlled, please rest assured." ”

"Well, I know your way out." The female voice in the gap was satisfied.

Qi Lan asked respectfully, "Do you have any special discoveries?" ”

"Hmm... There are so many people, I didn't bother to check them one by one, so I'll leave them to them after looking at them. And I can't see what the reason is now.,At first, everyone's qualifications should be about the same.,But as the Gensokyo process progresses,The difference will soon appear.。 The female voice said leisurely, "Besides, everyone has their own plans, don't they?" Strength has nothing to do with some talent. ”

"Yes." Qi Lan bowed his head.

"But there's one more thing... Never mind. The female voice hesitated for a moment, dispelling the idea of what to say.

"Sue me to book the process."

"Yes. After two months of Gensokyo, [Red Mist] will be opened. After the end of Red Mist, a martial arts meeting will be held and several side routes will be opened. This is a temporary process. ”

"Follow the process, and after the [Spring Snow], the [Plan] will officially begin. Blue, if you need strength, you can take it yourself, if you work too hard, I'll feel distressed. The woman said softly.

"It's a blue honor to do things for you." Qi Lan was pleased, but his posture was still respectful.

The female voice hummed softly, and then disappeared with the gap.

Qi Lan waited until the gap completely disappeared before he straightened up, and after reconfirming the order from the woman in the gap, he habitually inserted his hands into the opposite cuffs, and nine long golden tails stood up straight behind him.

Bai Yan was rummaging through the phantom sky, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the teahouse, he frowned, stood up and looked out, it turned out that a group of people had gathered not far away.

He immediately smelled the breath of the mission, so he hurried downstairs, and when he got closer, he heard a shout: "Gather the self-police members!" The monster crusade group of the self-police team is about to be dispatched, and the leader of this time is Lord Wang Feng, the top ten powerhouse of the self-police team! ”

A strong man with a spear stood in the most crowded part of the bazaar, shouting.

System prompt: Self-police mission [Explore the Twilight Forest], please choose whether to accept it.

The members of the Self-Police Force are often scattered all over the country because of their patrol duties, so they have to make this decision in order to quickly gather manpower when they want to go out on a mission.

However, for the current Bai Yan, this task is like a life-saving straw, he naturally chose to accept it, and then stood behind Dahan.

Bai Yan glanced at the mission description, it was very simple - explore the Dusk Forest: follow the team into the Dusk Forest to explore, and give rewards according to the exploration process. Originally, the task of [Daily Patrol] should have been covered and disappeared directly.

Bai Yan still wanted to think about the task, and suddenly an inquiry voice came from behind him: "This, is it a player?" ”

"You..." Bai Yan turned around and saw a young man dressed in a capable short fight, he was carrying a bow on his back and a quiver at his waist, thinking that he was an archer.

"You too?" Bai Yan really didn't expect to really meet another human at the Nanli Market.

The young archer stretched out his hand and said, "Meet me, my name is Li Tiangong, archer." ”

"Bai Yanfei, swordsman." Bai Yan stretched out his hand and shook the bow with Li Tiangong.

"The area owned by humans is very large, there are very few human players, and the distribution is scattered, since we can meet here, why don't we make friends?" Li tilted his bow and sent a friend invitation casually.

Bai Xingyan felt that there was no harm, and the two immediately became friends.

Li Tiangong squinted and smiled: "In this way, we can be considered friends, Brother Bai." ”

said, and arched his hand, just like in the old generation of martial arts movies.

Bai Yan looked at Li Tiangong's slightly raised eyebrows, knowing that he was joking, so he simply replied and arched his hand: "Brother Li is polite." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then exchanged some content about the fantasy sky battle while the big man was still soliciting people.

Although Li Tiangong has an ordinary appearance, he is gentle and polite, calm and calm in his gestures, and has a faint gentleman's style, and it doesn't feel bad to talk to him. Bai Yan is not an extrovert who is good at making friends, but when he meets someone like Li Tiangong, it is inevitable to talk a few more words. However, he is sober-minded and has his own measure, and some hidden things, such as the Dark Crow Step, he will not mention it.

Li Tiangong likes archery, has a family history, has practiced archery since he was a child, and his skills are very superb, so he naturally chose a bow when teaching combat. However, when Bai Yan asked why he chose human beings, he said that there seemed to be some reason, and Bai Yan didn't ask much.

The two talked for a while, and the big man stopped summoning people, and went to the Zhongli Gate with more than a dozen people recruited, and there was already a small group of people waiting there.

Dahan led the team to the door, walked up to the waiting people, and said respectfully: "Lord Wang Feng, the team has been brought." ”

"Hmm." Wang Feng, the leader of the self-police team, nodded and let the big man retreat.

This is a middle-aged man about forty years old, he just stood in front of the door, but he gave Bai Yan a sense of oppression that the mountain rain was about to come, with Bai Yan's eyesight, this Wang Feng was the same as the soul demon dream when the novice was received, and he was a guy who was not like an NPC.

"He's very strong, and this mission has a minimum guarantee." Li Tiangong said what Bai Yan wanted to say.

Bai Yan nodded and said, "But what the environment of the Dusk Forest is is still unknown. ”

"Line up!"

Wang Feng gave an order, and a total of thirty-five team members stood by one.

"Listen, follow me as you enter the forest, our mission this time is to explore the Twilight Forest." Wang Feng said in a deep voice, "The Dusk Forest was originally a place where we have explored, and the Self-Police Force has obtained a lot of resources for the human world here. Recently, however, a group of harpies has taken over the area, blocking the flow of resources among the people. Our operation this time is to obtain information for the future crusade, so the results of our exploration are important, and will even determine the rise and fall of the people. ”

He gradually raised his voice: "Humans are difficult to survive in Gensokyo, and the human world provides a shelter for every ordinary human, and although the Twilight Forest is dangerous, we have a reason to take the lead. So as an outpost, we need to explore as much information as possible. But save your life too! Every brother in the police team is good, and I don't want anyone here today to never go back! Come back with your life, and when you come back, you will surely have a great reward waiting for your brothers! ”

"For the sake of the people, for the sake of the human beings, work together."

Wang Feng lowered his head slightly, clenched his fists, and his voice became higher and higher.

"For the sake of the people! For humanity! Together! ”

The crowd was excited, shouting loudly.

In the midst of the tidal calls, Li Tiangong narrowed his eyes and couldn't see his expression.

Bai Yan inexplicably felt that this scene was somewhat familiar, thinking of the murals of human ancestors seen in the human corridor, and there was a heat surging in his veins for no reason.

Before he could experience this strange and familiar feeling, Wang Feng waved his hand vigorously, stepped out of the door with one foot, and then the whole team started.

"Let's go!"
